Which family car for under €30,000?

Any nearly/new saloon/SUV for under €30k, but still with big space and is a decent car? For a family of four. I really don't mind what fuels it.

Hi Conor, 

There's a wealth of choice at that price point on the used market really. Here are a few options to consider, many of them early 2025 registrations:

Dacia Duster
Hyundai Kona (the newer model)
MG ZS (newer model)
Nissan Qashqai
Skoda Octavia
Volkswagen Taigo or ID.4 if you fancy going electric
